Folger Tech FT-5 filament guide

thingiverse

A simple filament guide which I use in conjunction with CerHewer's FT5 spool stand.. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1705478 +Keeps the filament towards the centre and close to the spool so it is far less likely to jump off the spool. +Can be fastened to the 2020 with one of the kits spare M5 bolts and T-nuts. +Can be printed with no support in the default file orientation. +There is a slit in the circle of the guide so you can slip the filament in without having to cut and reload. +For optimal results move the spool holder as close to the guide as your filament spool will allow. There are likely far better fixes out there to this problem, this is by no means foolproof, but it was a quick and easy hack to get the above spool holder working for me without so many filament tangles. This does not guarantee that filament may still not jump off the spool, as it has still occasionally done so for me with very large movements, but most often at the beginning of a print or start of a new spool.
